New Design
Yep, I’ve yet again redesigned. If you’re using Firefox or Chrome, the site will be beautiful, and if you’re using Safari, it’ll be almost as beautiful (Safari 4 still doesn’t support inset box shadows in CSS3 *sigh*).
So a few details about the design.
- Grayscale. The color one chooses when he does not know which color to choose.
- Heavy CSS3. If you look at it in IE, it’ll probably puke. Sorry. Upgrade your browser. =)
- Design took place amidst other activities, including a very lonely The Office marathon.
- The comment form uses an ordered list. The comment form button is pretty CSS3 stuff.
- The web site makes heavy use of alpha transparency, both in PNG graphics and background colors/gradients. This means that the design can be completely transformed, in full color, simply by applying another background image (yes: another).
- Expect to see the background change from time to time as I get bored with the grayscale.
- The home page 3-column layout is some cool CSS3 trickery.
- All of the designing was done in the browser, not in Photoshop. I think this approach dramatically changed my attention to detail, particularly the fonts and colors (well, shades, if you will).
- I took a minimalist approach with the design and stripped out almost all of the plugins I was using for Wordpress. I’m much happier with my content and a few pages, and I think the refocus on “less is more” allows me to write more, fix less, and by extension allows folks to read more and be confused less.
If you’re a graphic designer and would like to see your work on my site, drop me a line. ;-)
Well, that’s all for now. =)
Update: Okay, here’s more. Pick a color to see how the design changes.
